Annika Heslyk

Lecturer

I'm responsible for the physiotherapy program.

Presentation

As program manager, I am responsible for the quality work within the physiotherapy program. Among other things, it is about stimulating educational innovation and educational development. Being involved and creating the conditions for students on the road to a profession is exciting and feels incredibly meaningful.

The rest of the time I work as a teacher. Interprofessional learning is something that I have brought with me from my clinical background in neurological rehabilitation as well as something that I actively engaged in at the Faculty of Medicine. My position also includes being an academic coordinator for international student and teacher exchanges for the Physiotherapist program.

Together with students, teachers and researchers, we develop and work for the program to continue to be one of the country's best Physiotherapy programs!

My hope is that the students will graduate from our program and enrich and develop the labour market with inspiring ideas and have the skills to act in the new arenas of the future.
